| | NC Zoo™ - North Carolina Zoo : International Programs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | In collaboration with the National University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Profelis, a rehabilitation facility for Costa Rican felines, N.C. Zoo's Senior Veterinarian Barb Wolfe, N.C. State University veterinary student Annie Newell and Smithsonian researcher Rebecca Spindler visited three facilities housing several small cat species. |
 | | These facilities care for animals that are injured, orphaned or confiscated with the intention of releasing them to the wild once they are fit to survive. |
 | | Through our collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, Profelis and other in-country rehabilitation facilities, we hope to improve the prospects of survival for some of the animals cared for and released in the wild. |
